Aston Martin Vantage review covering 2005 To Date

Thursday 5 June 2008

It’s not hard to see why the V8 Vantage has been such a massive success for Aston Martin. Just look at it. It remains one of the most perfectly proportioned cars available and it’s also a good bet as a used proposition, with better quality control at the high tech Gaydon plant.Sometimes the solution to a problem is so apparent with the benefit of hindsight that one wonders why it proved such a thorny issue in the first instance. Take the Aston Martin V8 Vantage for instance. After launch, it was as clear as the nose on your face that Aston needed to be competing in this sector of the market with a car such as this, but for so long talk of a ‘baby’ Aston only brought howls that such a move would erode the brand’s reputation. The DB7 was a good first step but still felt slightly homespun. The V8 Vantage is the real deal and used examples are currently hot property.
